I took a little box of hexagons out with me today on a family visit and got bored with sewing in the papers.
I HAD VOWED NOT TO START THIS! I have too much else on the go. I am saving odd hexagons cut from scraps and excess from other projects-the idea was to get all of the papers sewn in, put them all in a bag and pick them at random to make a double quilt that will create its own magic. But I started sewing..............
Then after my visit, I went to the beach, parked up and watched the high tide turn, intending to read and I did a bit more....
It makes the whole thing less boring to do a bit of joining rather than endless paper sewing. As long as I keep the maximum 'flower' size to six per side, once the florets are joined, it will look completely random. Hopefully. But I need to finish my other two paper pieced projects first!
